FAQs
What is this solvent blend and its composition?
This blend consists of roughly equal parts (50%/50%) toluene (CAS 108-88-3) and isopropyl alcohol (CAS 67-63-0) in a laboratory-grade formulation supplied by Ricca Chemical. The packaging is typically a 4 L amber glass bottle for trace-clean usage.
What are key specifications and shelf life details?
The product is a colorless liquid with a specific gravity range of 0.825–0.835 at 17 °C for the 50/50 blend. The unopened shelf life is 18 months when stored at 15–30 °C.
What are typical applications for this blend?
It’s designed for laboratory use where combined solvent requirements exist—such as cleaning, preparing standards, or use in non-aqueous analytical methods requiring both a high-solvency aromatic (toluene) and a polar alcohol (isopropyl). Choose when both solvent types are needed.
What handling and storage precautions should be followed?
Because this blend includes both toluene (a volatile aromatic solvent) and isopropyl alcohol (highly flammable), users must use it in a well-ventilated area, with proper PPE, and store it away from ignition sources. Refer to the SDS for full hazard information.
